Johnny Opinion

We got some of the biggest attitude from a staff that Ive ever experienced at this place. We came here as a group for the first time for something fun and new to do. This place is obviously popular with leagues and the retirees sec. The place is nostalgic and outdated, but we were having a good time. Then, one of my friends asked for some help with the scoring machine, which is extremely outdated and unintuitive to use. The guy working there basically dressed down my friend for "making a mistake." When my friend asked for some clarification about what he meant, the guy kept asking if my friend could read the directions on the screen. When my friend said yes, the man asked him to read it aloud to him. My friend finally told the guy that he was being very rude, and the man backed off. I was just in utter disbelief about the treatment my friend received. It is some of the most rude and condescending service I have ever experienced. We finished our one game but felt way too uncomfortable to stay. Needless to say, we wont be back.

Awesome old-school candlepin bowling center! They are always welcoming to our large school groups. The kids have a blast! Fantastic family atmosphere, fun for all ages, 20 well maintained lanes, top-notch modern equipment in a classic 1940s era bowling alley! Try candlepin bowling when you visit Maine. New England is the only place in the world where you can!

Can you say nostalgia or throwback to an earlier and less turbulent time? Well thats the Big 20. Came here during my childhood witj great memories. Coming back and playing again with my family just felt right. Great Owners and love that they are keeping the history and experience a live!

I used to love going here, but today I went with my friend and the guy there was cold. He didnt smile once, and he gave us an attitude when I asked a question about the scoring machine, and told me to read it my self. Terrible service... not coming here again. We went 5/28/16.

IT WAS FUN AND RELAXING. THE EMPLOYEES WERE VERY NICE AND RESPECTFUL TOWARDS US. THEY EVEN GAVE MY SON A COUPON BECAUSE HIS TEACHERS SON IS THE OWNER OF BIG 20. ITS A GREAT PLACE TO GO WITH THE FAMILY FOR VACATIONS. AND ON WEEKENDS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS!

True Maine tradition! This is an owner operated and in the store kind of small business particular to Maine. The relaxed atmosphere and reasonable prices make this a great go to fun, sport, or Family activity. I highly recommend this authentic institution!

Its candlepin bowling, what do you expect. Sometimes, in the summer, its open depending on the weather. They gave a place to buy snacks and booze. I enjoy going here.
